I’m with you - what a wonderful family who demonstrated with such grace their love and faith in God. Our prayers go out for them for God to grant them His comfort and grace in the midst of great sorrow.

Our country has had enough of these monsters roaming the land preying on people. I can’t even allow my kids outdoors to play without myself having to watch them in the yard. It’s time to trash the legal system and it corrupt layers and judges who have permitted the murderers, thieves, rapists, child molestors and assorted other criminals to terrorize America. I say Death to those who commit murder! No more “life sentences”.

My anger has long been channeled toward those who live with their heads in the sand, and take their safety for granted. People are continually shocked that this could happen, despite the warnings from the cautious and “the paranoid” who desperately try to prevent these crimes.

I feel like a big “told you so” is in order, but I just don’t know who to say it to.

Amen to that. Lawyers and "the system" are definitely accessories to crime.

Hell, they ARE the criminals in my view.

“It’s time to trash the legal system and its corrupt lawyers and judges who have permitted the murderers, thieves, rapists, child molestors and assorted other criminals to terrorize America.”

Once upon a time, crimes against others were handled by revenge and retribution. The legal system we have today interceded to stop the barbarism of r & r. Now, that legal system has become ineffective. Mankind will have to return to revenge and retribution or else be relegated to the Castradi.

Call me cold hearted, hateful or anything you wish, if it were one of my daughters, I’d let it be known the Police better find whoever it is before I did.

My heartfelt sympathies goes out to her family.

I’m with you. This baloney that a life sentence is more terrible than death is bunk. Let God sort out the souls that, after a trial, are executed in a reasonable time frame, none of this 20 years later stuff. God will decide what their just punishment will be. And He would be better at it than we ever could be. And He would be most mericful to those few who are innocent. But I am afraid that would require trust in God, something this country now lacks.

I know this is not very Christian-like but I just want to take a baseball bat to this creep’s head as if bashing a snake. We as a nation need to rid ourselves of these evil cretins who do such despicable acts of murder to our innocent children and fellow citizens.

And yet....what did our esteemed Senate do today.....voted down an amendment that would have barred all illegals who have done serious crimes or belonged to gangs or have broken the laws(I guess coming across the border illegally does not count tho) from getting amnesty...in other words the Senate said...welcome rapists, murderers, gang members...what the hell is the matter with those idiots? And more to the point,just what are we going to be able to do about it?
